What you can expect

Follow a path trodden by many Hindu pilgrims and journey to Sagar Island in the Ganges Delta for a full-day private tour. See several temples, including the illustrious Kapil Muni Temple, as you encounter traditional villages and communities while taking in the pristine natural environment.

Travel south from Kolkata to the shores of Kakdwip; here, board a boat to cross the channel to the spiritual Sagar Island in the protected biosphere reserve of the Sundarbans. Situated at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Ganges River, the undeveloped island of Sagar has ancient roots in Hindu legend.

Central to the area’s heritage is the Kapil Muni Temple; hear from your guide how and why thousands of Hindus flock here each January in honour of the aforementioned folklore. See other temples, observe local villages, and possibly glimpse the meditative sadhus, Hindu holy men.

As you tour this remote location and encounter sacred people and sites, utilise the knowledge of your private guide to make the most of this cultural and religious experience.
